Clinical psychology doctoral candidate receives national award
Olivia Bogucki, a fifth-year University of Maine clinical psychology doctoral candidate, was awarded a scholarship through the 8th Annual Beck Institute Student Scholarship Competition. She was selected from a pool of more than 300 applicants to attend an intensive three-day workshop on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression and suicidality at the prestigious Beck Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Beck Institute is a world-renowned training center for mental health professionals to learn CBT, an empirically supported approach for treating a variety of mental disorders. In 2015 and 2018, then second-year UMaine clinical psychology doctoral student Rachel Goetze and fifth-year UMaine clinical psychology doctoral student Hannah Lawrence also were selected to attend the workshop.
